Training Summary
The course is a combination lecture, discussion and hands-on workshop in several COBOL topics. Write a program to load and read single and multi-dimensional tables. SORT a sequential file in a COBOL program using both Input and Output procedures. Write a program to accept data from the PARM field in JCL and to pass data to a subprogram. Use COBOL Intrinsic Functions such a upper case and Current Date. Write calls to the Language Environment to access system data. Debug common abends including the infamous S0C7, S013, S0C1, S0C4 with Abend Aid and / or LE Dump. Build a series of programs for a "typical" batch job scenario.
Prerequisites
Six months experience with COBOL and TSO/ISPF is required.
